Lumen per Square Centimeter Steradian
lm/(cm²·sr)
Definition
The Lumen per Square Centimeter Steradian is a unit of luminance using square centimeters as the area unit. It is equivalent to 10,000 candela per square meter and is used for measuring high-luminance sources with more manageable numbers.
History/Origin
This unit was developed as a practical alternative to the square meter unit when dealing with high-luminance applications. It provides more convenient numbers for measuring bright light sources and is commonly used in display technology and laser applications.
Current Use
Frequently used in display technology, laser systems, and high-intensity lighting applications. Common in measuring LED displays, plasma screens, and other bright light sources where precise luminance control is essential for performance and safety.

Stilb
sb
Definition
The Stilb is a CGS unit of luminance, equal to 10,000 candela per square meter. It was part of the centimeter-gram-second system and is still used in some specialized applications, particularly in older scientific literature and certain technical contexts.
History/Origin
The stilb was originally defined in the CGS system as a unit of luminance, named after the Greek word for brightness. It was widely used in early photometry and lighting science before the adoption of SI units became standard in most applications.
Current Use
Still used in some specialized scientific applications, particularly in older technical specifications and certain branches of photometry. While largely replaced by SI units, it occasionally appears in historical contexts and specialized measurement systems.
